Mobin Mohan’s Jacaranda translated from Malayalam into English by Akhil Jose

399.00

In Mobin Mohan’s award-winning novel Jacaranda, translated from Malayalam into English by Akhil Jose, the city of Carnovia is transformed every October into a violet-hued paradise where thousands of jacaranda trees bloom in a “violet umbrella”. The story centers on Salvador, an orphan and tourist guide, and his deep connection with Amelia, the daughter of a street musician, whose love is mirrored in the timeless beauty and superstitions of the falling blossoms. However, the idyllic atmosphere is tested when Salvador’s ambitious friend Agostino becomes entangled with a mysterious girl from Gantia, leading the characters away from their “Jacaranda City” and into a world of financial desperation, harsh labor in distant vineyards, and the shadows of historical legacies. Through a narrative rich with poetic symbolism and folklore—including the legend of Saint Dwynwen, the patron of lovers—Mohan explores the resilience of love and the human spirit against the “cruel twists of fate”. This Sahitya Akademi Yuva Puraskar-winning work is a soulful meditation on whether a life rooted in “great goodness” can survive the encroaching darkness of the world.
